We just finished two days of high school vo-ag classes with our raptor presentation. These kids were great, they were full of great questions, were relatively polite, and many offered to help carry crates and gear for us. Today at the Outdoor Campus at the GF&P we were approached by two of them that are asking us if they can volunteer to do some "dirty work" for us.
The only way to get good kids like this in a high school is start with teachers like you Cip! People that encourage curiosity, train them to focus their attention, and treat others with respect. The thing I remember most from 1st grade is getting a ruler across my left knuckles for using "the devil's hand"....fer cripes sake, it wasn't even Catholic school!!! I'm so glad your students have a positive male rolemodel teaching and molding them.
